I have a possibly-related alarm issue as well. I'm running 7.7.2 -
r33893.

I have an alarm set on a SB2 to trigger twice a day. Identical
alarms, using the same online URL/station. The 6 AM 'morning' alarm
works perfectly, every time. The 8:00 pm alarm almost never works (@
90% failure these days) and goes to the backup alarm. Stopping the
backup alarm and pressing play on the online station works every
time, so I don't believe it's the station. There's no errors in the
logs that I've been able to find. It's perplexing and annoying.

I've ruled out external bandwidth, latency and internal network
issues along with DNS in my year-plus of being periodically
frustrated with this.
